3 days in KL to finish the trip, wasn't sure what to expect but looked like quite a cool city. As per usual we did a massive stomp around the city on the first day, clocked up about 4 hours of walking! Saw all the sites, the two towers, observation deck, parks and markets. We were staying next to China town, quite run down but good to have a mooch around. First thing that hit us was the crazy drink prices, they were pushing the same as back home and that was ...

Last day in Sabah, Borneo first started with a 7 and half hour drive! Couple of wee breaks and some munch half way through was needed but the big panic came from hitting seriously low petrol after not seeing a petrol station for over 5 hours of constant driving! Nether the less one was found and we made it to the capital. Just a short stop off, we visited an old friend from Barnet & Chase Farm Hospital who moved back to Malaysia a few years ago. Had a tour ...

A couple of hours drive and we arrived in Tawau. Main purpose of the visit was both a trek through the Tawau Hills National Park and also a stop off on route to the capital, a mammoth drive to come! The Tawau rainforest was one of the most impressive we've seen so far, huge trees and dense jungle. Also had a cool river flowing through. As soon as we got in the forest the rain started, it was about as heavy as standing under a power shower for a good half hour! ...

Few days in Semporna was a bit of a culture shock in comparison to both Borneo and South East Asia as a whole. We drove there with the intention of doing some diving but as a cut on Sonny's leg was getting a bit infected we decided against it. I couldn't leave a man down and go alone! So spent the days lazing around town, quite nice after a busy few days. The only bar in town was closing down so it's safe to say we certainly helped the local foreign workers 'cl...

After the rainforest canopy trek we headed onto Sukau and a boat trip along the Kinabatangan River. Pitching up in a random village we organised the tour for the following morning. The 29th August was Sonny's 29th birthday but it very much differed to the normal big weekends drinking! In a good way though! Went for a meal and early night all set for the trip in the morning. 5.30am start and out on the boat by 6am. Along the trip we saw proboscis monkeys, grey ...
